China Plate’s unique training opportunity for emerging theatre makers and producers.
“The knowledge, guidance, and resources (given) over the complete course are simply amazing. I have grown as an artist, producer, and all-round theatre-maker, and learned a plethora of transferable skills along the way.” – Optimists Alumni
Are you an emerging producer or theatre-maker hoping to develop your professional producing skills in the subsidised theatre sector?
The Optimists offers an introduction to the craft of producing theatre in a professional context and building professional networks by de-mystifying the financial, administrative and organisational aspects of producing. Drawing on China Plate’s extensive experience and real examples, the Optimists provides knowledge and insight on the practicalities of making, funding, touring and promoting your work.
“The Optimists is invaluable for anyone wanting to navigate the arts industry. I have learned more than I could imagine possible and met so many inspiring (and very useful!) contacts.” – Optimist Alumni.
The Optimists course is led by China Plate, with the support of guest industry experts and speakers.
Applications are now open for our Spring 2021 online course, aimed at freelancers working in the theatre sector.
